Saint Patricks Day (or St. Paddy s Day or Paddy s Day or Americanized Patty s Day) is a feast day celebrating Saint Patrick and takes place on 17th of March (the anniversary of his death in the fifth century). What is the meaning Of Saint Patricks Day? The modern holiday is based on the original Christian saint s feast day which is also considered to be the date of the saint s death in 1737.

The Irish aren t much like the people that Irish Americans pretend to be on St Patricks Day. But please don t take our stereotypes away. We love them so. Descendents of those who immigrated during the Irish potato famines of the 18th and 19th century generally only have St Patricks Day to remind them of those long ago ancestral ties. We may not have any real understanding of the country at all. Still we must beg pardon of the modern Irish citizenry and continue our traditions. So with tongue in cheek every American who likes a mid-March excuse to celebrate professes to be partly of Irish ancestry.

There is nothing however etched in stone that says the festivities cannot also include a few sweet gestures and an eye toward passion. If you want to dazzle your sweetheart and celebrate Irish roots whether you have them or not there is an excellent plan you can put into action for a holiday inspired night at home. It does involve a few steps and it will take some work on your part but the payoff will be a March 17th that you and your sweetheart will not soon forget. Step 1. The ask out. If you do not live together you will have to ask out your sweetheart.
